CRAIG Farrell has extended his lead in the race to become this season's Press Player of the Year.

The striker picked up a valuable two points following a storming second-half display against Gravesend and Northfleet last Saturday to give him a six point cushion at the top of the pile ahead of Clayton Donaldson.

His performance also ensured he was the unanimous choice as March's Player of the Month.

On Saturday, Emmanuel Panther picked up the maximum three points to push his way into sixth in the overall table, while winger Martyn Woolford scooped the remaining point.
